China Targets Rise in Oil and Natural Gas Output for 2020
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

China aims to produce 1 percent more crude oil this year than in 2019 and to boost natural gas output by 4.3 percent, official targets showed on Monday, as the country seeks to safeguard energy security even after a coronavirus-driven collapse in oil prices.

The world’s biggest energy consumer has set a goal of producing 193 million tonnes of crude, or 3.85 million barrels per day, in 2020, and 181 billion cubic metres of gas, according to an annual production plan released by the National Energy Administration (NEA).

Those numbers compare to actual output of around 191 million tonnes of crude and 173.62 bcm of gas last year.

The NEA said it would focus on expanding its four key energy production bases to achieve the goals – one offshore in Bohai Bay in northern China, as well as onshore in Sichuan province in the southwest, in the Erdos Basin and in the far western Xinjiang region.

It also aims to push forward development of so-called new energy – including renewables, fuel ethanol and coal-to-liquids – in order to improve its capability to replace conventional hydrocarbons.

The annual plan also set a target of having around 900 gigawatts of installed non-fossil fuel power generation capacity in 2020 and further lowering the share of coal in China’s primary energy mix to around 57.5 percent.

Coal’s share in China’s energy consumption slipped to 57.7 percent in 2019, although coal usage was still up 1 percent year-on-year in tonnage terms. Installed non-fossil fuel power generation capacity – consisting of hydro, solar, wind and nuclear power – stood at just below 820 GW at the end of 2019, NEA figures show.
